Integration of Transpiration Cooling and Shock Thrust Vectoring

Bukva, Alexander (University of Waterloo, 2022-06-16)

Transpiration cooling is used for active thermal protection whereas shock thrust vectoring is an attitude control approach. Both concepts rely on the injection, at the wall, of a secondary fluid into a high-speed and ...
Single Phase Pump: Non-Mechanical Valvular Conduit

Lee, Bong-Joo (University of Waterloo, 2011-09-30)

This thesis evaluates performance of a non-mechanical conduit valve that was designed for the purpose of this research. The motivation came from the need for a cooling system of portable computers (e.g. laptops and netbooks). ...
Supercritical thermodynamic property evaluation via adaptive mesh tabulation

Mupparapu, Sai Praneeth (University of Waterloo, 2019-01-30)

Obtaining accurate computational simulations of fluid flows with a complex thermodynamic behaviour is difficult. This is partly due to the non-linear variation of thermophysical properties in the vicinity of critical point. ...
